1. يا مَنْ ذِكْرُهُ شَرَفٌ لِلذَّاكِرِينَ\
   *Yā man dhikruhu sharafun lil-dhākirīn*\
   O He whose remembrance is an honor for those who remember.

2. وَيَا مَنْ شُكْرُهُ فَوْزٌ لِلشَّاكِرِينَ\
   *Wa-yā man shukruhu fawzun lil-shākirīn*\
   And O He whose gratitude is success for the thankful.

3. وَيَا مَنْ طَاعَتُهُ نَجَاةٌ لِلْمُطِيعِينَ\
   *Wa-yā man ṭā‘atuhu najātun lil-muṭī‘īn*\
   And O He whose obedience is salvation for the obedient.

4. صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ\
   *Ṣalli ‘alā Muḥammadin wa-Ālihi*\
   Send blessings upon Muhammad and his family.

5. وَاشْغَلْ قُلُوبَنَا بِذِكْرِكَ عَنْ كُلِّ ذِكْرٍ\
   *Wa-ashghil qulūbanā bidhikrika ‘an kulli dhikr*\
   And occupy our hearts with Your remembrance from all other remembrance.

6. وَأَلْسِنَتَنَا بِشُكْرِكَ عَنْ كُلِّ شُكْرٍ\
   *Wa-alsinatanā bishukrika ‘an kulli shukr*\
   And our tongues with Your thanks from all other thanks.

7. وَجَوَارِحَنَا بِطَاعَتِكَ عَنْ كُلِّ طَاعَةٍ\
   *Wa-jawāriḥanā bi-ṭā‘atika ‘an kulli ṭā‘ah*\
   And our limbs with Your obedience from all other obedience.

8. فَإِنْ قَدَّرْتَ لَنَا فَرَاغًا مِنْ شُغْلٍ فَاجْعَلْهُ فَرَاغَ سَلَامَةٍ\
   *Fa-in qaddarta lanā farāghan min shughlin fa-j‘alhu farāgha salāmah*\
   And if You decree for us a time free from work, then make it a time of safety.

9. لَا تُدْرِكْنَا فِيهِ تَبِعَةٌ وَلَا تَلْحَقْنَا فِيهِ سَآمَةٌ\
   *Lā tudriknā fīhi tabi‘atun wa-lā talḥaqnā fīhi sa’āmah*\
   In which no burden overtakes us, and no weariness afflicts us.

10. حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ عَنَّا كُتَّابُ السَّيِّئَاتِ بِصَحِيفَةٍ خَالِيَةٍ مِنْ ذِكْرِ سَيِّئَاتِنَا\
   *Ḥattā yanṣarifa ‘annā kuttābu al-sayyi’āti bi-ṣaḥīfatin khāliyyatin min dhikri sayyi’ātinā*\
   Until the recorders of evil deeds depart from us with a scroll empty of any mention of our sins.

11. وَيَتَوَلَّى كُتَّابُ الْحَسَنَاتِ عَنَّا مَسْرُورِينَ بِمَا كَتَبُوا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِنَا\
   *Wa-yatawallā kuttābu al-ḥasanāti ‘annā masrūrīna bimā katabū min ḥasanātinā*\
   And the recorders of good deeds depart from us rejoicing in what they have written of our good deeds.

12. وَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ أَيَّامُ حَيَاتِنَا وَتَصَرَّمَتْ مُدَدُ أَعْمَارِنَا\
   *Wa-idhā inqaḍat ayyāmu ḥayātinā wa-taṣarramat mudadu a‘mārinā*\
   And when the days of our lives have ended, and the spans of our ages have passed.

13. وَاسْتَحْضَرَتْنَا دَعْوَتُكَ الَّتِي لَا بُدَّ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ إِجَابَتِهَا\
   *Wa-istaḥḍaratnā da‘watuka allatī lā budda minhā wa-min ijābatihā*\
   And Your summons, which cannot be avoided and must be answered, has attended us.

14. فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ\
   *Fa-ṣalli ‘alā Muḥammadin wa-Ālihi*\
   Then send blessings upon Muhammad and his family.

15. وَاجْعَلْ خِتَامَ مَا تُحْصِي عَلَيْنَا كَتَبَةُ أَعْمَالِنَا تَوْبَةً مَقْبُولَةً\
   *Wa-j‘al khitāma mā tuḥṣī ‘alaynā katabatu a‘mālinā tawbatan maqbūlah*\
   And make the conclusion of what the scribes of our deeds record against us a repentance accepted.

16. لَا تُوقِفْنَا بَعْدَهَا عَلَى ذَنْبٍ اجْتَرَحْنَاهُ\
   *Lā tūqifnā ba‘dahā ‘alā dhanbin ijtaraḥnāhu*\
   Do not expose us after it to a sin we have committed.

17. وَلَا مَعْصِيَةٍ اقْتَرَفْنَاهَا\
   *Wa-lā ma‘ṣiyatin iqtirafnāhā*\
   Nor to a disobedience we have perpetrated.

18. وَلَا تَكْشِفْ عَنَّا سِتْرًا سَتَرْتَهُ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ\
   *Wa-lā takshif ‘annā sitran satartahu ‘alā ru’ūsi al-ashhād*\
   And do not uncover from us a covering You have concealed over us before witnesses.

19. يَوْمَ تَبْلُو أَخْبَارَ عِبَادِكَ\
   *Yawma tablu akhbāra ‘ibādika*\
   On the day You test the reports of Your servants.

20. إِنَّكَ رَحِيمٌ بِمَنْ دَعَاكَ، وَمُسْتَجِيبٌ لِمَنْ نَادَاكَ\
   *Innaka raḥīmun biman da‘āk, wa-mustajībun liman nādāk*\
   Indeed, You are Merciful to the one who calls upon You, and Responsive to the one who invokes You.
